肯尼迪表演艺术中心大厅天花板在周五暴雨后发生坍塌,所幸未造成人员伤亡1。该中心官方将此事件作为证据,说明建筑亟需进行翻修1。董事会已投票决定在9月8日前在建筑外立面铭刻"由特朗普总统修缮和翻新"的字样1。
特朗普政府与中心董事会提议耗资2.5亿美元进行翻修工程1。国会已批准2.57亿美元资金,政府还计划从私人捐款中筹集5亿美元1。如果翻修基金达到1亿美元,将在外立面添加另一块铭文:"由特朗普肯尼迪中心基金捐赠"1。特朗普政府律师主张,没有特朗普名字将难以募集翻修资金,否则"建筑将进一步恶化成不安全、破烂的结构,必须被拆除"1。
然而,这一计划面临法律障碍。联邦法官上月对此举表示质疑,并曾下令移除非法添加的特朗普名字1。
A ceiling collapse in the main hall of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts occurred Friday evening following heavy rain, though no injuries were reported 1. The incident has reignited debate over a proposed $250 million renovation plan that has become entangled in controversy over naming rights at the Washington, D.C. venue.
The Kennedy Center's board has voted to inscribe "Renovated and Renewed by President Trump" on the building's exterior by September 8 1. According to the Trump administration's legal team, the president's name is essential to fundraising efforts, arguing that without it, the facility would "further deteriorate into an unsafe, dilapidated structure that would have to be demolished" 1. If renovation funding reaches $100 million, an additional plaque reading "Donated by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund" would be added 1.
Congress has already approved $257 million toward the project, with the government seeking to raise an additional $500 million from private donations 1. However, a federal judge expressed skepticism about the naming arrangement last month and previously ordered the removal of illegally added Trump inscriptions 1.
